Monday Heavy Metal Fitness Ride: The Coppi Experience

Clif of Hard Men with Soft Bellies just posted the dirt on this week's Heavy Metal Fitness Ride. This week brings the hills, but the Facebook Event page already has 25 confirmed participants, so at least you'll have company in your misery:

In honor of the thirteenth running of the Monday Night Heavy Metal Fitness Ride, I share this video.

Feeling fast like Coppi? Good. You’re cordially invited to the Monday Night Heavy Metal Fitness Ride and Free Beer Quaff Version 13.0.

And since I’ve been left to my own devices… Yes, we’ll be riding the hills again this week.

Here’s the lowdown.

The Heavy Metal Fitness Ride departs the Lamar Pedestrian Bridge, Monday’s at 7:30 pm. Sharp. Expect a reasonably fast pace, covering 23.3 miles on an urban route in the dark. If the weather’s warm, we’ll hit Barton Springs again but I doubt we’ll be doing that much more. Afterwards, it’s to the Jackalope to enjoy free beer, heavy metal madness, half-priced pizza and happy hour ($2.00 wells) all damn night.

Ride what brung ya. Road, mountain, bmx, cruzer, fixie, whatever. Metal Fitness is an equal opportunity ride and not limited to roadies.

Last time I heard, you’re mother won’t be attending, so you’ll need to bring water, lights, tube changing necessities, a lock, a swim suit if your swimming, your id and TIP MONEY if you’re drinking. You might even check the route map. I wear a helmet as the ride is fast and in the dark. Remember. Head injuries slow rides. And you don’t want to slow down a Heavy Metal Fitness ride. Now do you?

True to form there's already a $50 bet in the comments section of Clif's Blog, as a bounty for anyone who can take a pic of Keith hurling on the hills. Remember your cameras!
